Noé Katz

Today's photo was also taken at the Piedmont Triad International Airport at the north end of the terminal, on the second floor near security. It features a piece of artwork on display, entitled Conversation, by Noé Katz. If you look closely, the four red figures are heads, facing each other, as if in conversation. Somehow, the lighting on the floor transitions from green to yellow. The effect, combined with the black furniture and white trim looks even lovelier in person. Unfortunately, we only had our cell phone on the day this was taken.

Katz was born in Mexico City in 1953. He is known for drawing, sculpting, and painting human figures. Last spring, with John Beerman, Katz co-presented a show at Green Hill Gallery in Downtown Greensboro. The show was called Two Artists, One Space. We are really lucky to have this work of art. We are also really lucky that, after having traveled, lived, and shown his art in many countries, Katz is now a resident of Greensboro. At least, hopefully, what Green Hill reported last year * is still the case. If you get a chance, stop out to PTIA and enjoy the artwork.
